What is Avec Vitesse?+
Avec Vitesse is an AI-powered preparation platform built specifically for TCF Canada. You can practise listening and reading comprehension, book real-time speaking sessions with an AI examiner, and submit writing for structured feedback. We also plan to offer full mock exams as the product matures. The goal is realistic repetition and clear feedback so you feel ready before you sit the official test.
What is the TCF Canada?+
The TCF Canada (Test de Connaissance du Français pour le Canada) is a French test accepted for Canadian immigration and many programs. It measures listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Results are often reported using NCLC levels, which relate to the CLB scale used in immigration. Avec Vitesse helps you practise those skills; only an authorised centre can award an official score.
Who is this for?+
Our users include permanent-residence candidates, students, and professionals who need proof of French for Canada. Many are working toward a target CLB or NCLC. Whether you are starting from structured comprehension drills or polishing expression under time pressure, the platform is designed to support steady, exam-style preparation alongside your other study.
How does the free trial work?+
You can start a 10-day free trial without a credit card. The trial begins when you activate it and is meant to let you experience real tasks and AI feedback before you pay. When the trial window ends, areas that require an active prep subscription or credits will follow the rules shown in your account. Check the pricing page for the latest plans and exam packages.
What's included in the trial?+
The trial currently includes one Expression Orale session with the AI examiner, two Expression Écrite sets with AI grading, and sample Compréhension Orale and Compréhension Écrite exercises. These limits are designed so you can judge quality and pacing. Full mock exam simulations are not part of the trial and are planned as a separate offering when that feature launches.
What happens when my trial ends?+
After your trial, you can subscribe to a preparation plan for ongoing lesson and content access, or purchase credits where we offer pay-per-use options (for example exam or oral session credits, depending on the product). Some features stay available only with an active subscription; others may remain usable if you hold credits. Your dashboard and pricing page will always reflect what applies to your account.
Can I cancel my subscription?+
Yes. You can manage billing and cancellation from your account where Stripe customer portal or equivalent controls are linked. When you cancel, you generally keep any prepaid credits you already hold, but time-based subscription benefits end at the end of the paid period unless stated otherwise. For billing questions, contact Support with your account email.
Can I buy a single mock exam without subscribing?+
Mock exam access is intended to be credit-based so you can purchase exam packages without necessarily holding an active prep subscription. Packaging and availability can change; see pricing for current options. Note that full mock exam flows may still be rolling out—watch product updates and in-app messaging for when timed, end-to-end simulations are fully available.
What payment methods do you accept?+
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Supported cards and local payment methods appear at checkout. We never store full card numbers on our own servers; Stripe handles payment data according to industry standards.
How does AI grading work for written expression?+
You write your response in French and submit it when you are ready. Our system evaluates your text against task-specific criteria similar to what examiners look for—task achievement, organisation, range, and accuracy—and returns structured feedback you can use to revise. The score and comments are a learning tool only; they do not replace an official TCF mark from a test centre.
How does the oral expression practice work?+
You book a scheduled window and connect to a conversational AI that plays the role of an examiner, using voice technology (for example ElevenLabs) for natural turn-taking. You speak in real time, follow prompts, and receive guidance suited to TCF-style tasks. Sessions are designed to reduce anxiety through repetition, but you should still practise with teachers or peers when you can.
